The Paris 2024 Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, and several Team G-Shock athletes have qualified to compete in their respective events.
Rui Hachimura
Japanese NBA basketball player Rui Hachimura sat out the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to focus on his efforts with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he is returning for Paris 2024. Hachimura has released three G-Shock signature collaborations: the GST-B100RH-1A, GM-110RH-1A, and DW-6900RH-2. After a solid season with the Lakers shooting 53.7% from the field and 42.2% from three-point range, Hachimura is expected to contribute greatly to the Japan national team.

Chloe Covell
Although she’s not officially a Team G-Shock athlete, 14-year-old Australian street skateboarding phenom Chloe Covell has been wearing G-Shock watches during recent competitions and public appearances, and she probably has a G-Shock sponsorship. At 12 years old, Covell became the youngest athlete to win two X Games medals, and in 2023 at age 13, she was the youngest women’s street gold medalist in X Games history. At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, she has a very real chance of becoming the youngest-ever Australian gold medalist.
First Event: July 28, Women’s Street Prelims, 12:00 Paris Time
Medal Event: July 28, Women’s Street Final, 17:00 Paris Time
